The giants of the paradigm shift to Object Orientation from in the Information Age from the dominant Functional Orientation of the Industrial Age are old but still around and still advancing the state of the art to the next big step. I think that the best example of that Next Step is Artificial Intelligence. Nothing really artificial about it at all. In fact it is a refinement of Human Intelligence that accomplishes a substantial reduction of total ambiguity coded in our legacy system (Language:Natural:English) and its application to create Natural Narrative Language based social conceptual Operating Systems and Application programs.
"Ockham clearly thought that everything that can be expressed in any language can also be expressed in the mental language. This is because all expressions of the spoken language are subordinate to expressions of the mental language." - Representations and Objects of Thought in Miedevel Philosophy - Henrik Lagerlund, 2016
Interesting link. Read it for more related to his thoughts and thoughts related to Noam Chomsky.
Structured thought and language are not new logic concepts that smack us in the face and look likes something that we never saw before this paradigm shift of Object Oriented thinking expressed in Artificial Intelligence of a machine..
So much for historic background.
A most recent big step in Artificial Intelligence of real and conceptual machines that we create is the emergence of Constraint based structural system that looks like it is more in tune with the way Natural Physical World Systems (Mother Nature) control structure in the physical world.
Constraint/Imperative is starting to look to me like a two fundamental schools of thought about the nature and function of our conceptual thinking and creation of conceptual systems on physical machines analogous to Language:Artificial:Functional/Object. Maybe everything in both the natural world domain and our conceptual world domain exists within a higher level problem domain, I can't see a good name for it.....yet.....that is controlled by Constraint based Objects.
Looking at EveryThing:Natural/Conceptual at both its most granular level of being as well as its most collective level of being in either state in relation to an implementing action of Constraint that connects or relates the logic SubjectThing:Natural/Conceptual state of being (case) to its ObjectThing:Natural/Conceptual receiver of an implementing action in a framework where Constraint is the Master Control Action produces a whole new way to look at the structure of Everything and how it operates at the macro and micro level?
Looks and feels like the the key to knowing it all? At least the best BlockChain door of perception of the Problem Domain to go through on the way to.......continuing on the proven true path of......what...Human Intelligence.
To travel on that BlockChain of HumanIntelligence truth we have to put on better walking shoes and those walking shoes are a better more precise and less ambiguous language. The language we are creating to teach ourselves that we perceive as Artificial until we comprehend that we are not the center of the universe around which all of our so called "Conceptual World" and is organized in our "Natural Language" of our own creations. We orbit a more natural center of a Real World structured on Constraints first and foremost to determine the continuation of the TimeSpace continuum, not Imperatives.
So what......? What does that make things as far as a Parent/Child Object Oriented relationship?
Constraint is the Parent of the Child:Imperative? What are the Siblings of Imperative and their Children? Do they all their relationships implement on the Master Parent Action of Constraint?
What is that all called?
A perfectly balanced Total System?
Test that thought.
I started out this morning to comment on Bill Black's latest statement of Economic Truth.
"The United States government is not – and cannot be except through self-inflicted insanity such as austerity and debt limits – “cash-strapped.” The U.S. creates cash. The U.S. can be resource constrained, but not cash or credit constrained." In accordance with Bill's thinking: "Austerity is an Imperative" solution to the Cash or Credit Problem Domain is entirely wrong. I agree. He implies that we are not cash constrained. Not entirely an absolute truth and his intellectual attackers will seize on that to attack him. We are not cash or credit constrained but the concept of money (cash) is subject to a constraint system designed to fulfill its purpose of balance as a medium of exchange. Subtle but simple. Simply correct.
Before I could get there I wandered of on a BlockChain branch that took me down a different path.
The ultimate BlockChain of TimeSpace is not linear truth....It goes everywhere at once subject to no constraints? The Black Hole Universe on the other side of our Constrained Real Universe that we perceive in conceptual language terms because Balance is the Ultimate Constraint?
Hey.....!
New creative thought here:
Balance is the Ultimate Constraint!..........Only one single Google search hit on that phrase!
(Weird site! Not sure it deals with the same concept I see) Drugs as the door to Intelligent Knowledge? Far out! Some food for thought here but I would be careful in swallowing it!
http://www.supra-id.org Certainly a different Point of Entry than mine. Weird stuff but maybe there is a meeting of minds here from the site even it comes out of left field:
"The SupraIntelligent Design is a scientifically aligned understanding of nature's architecture that identifies the fundamental themes that suffuse nature's designs while also explaining that the overall design has an embedded aim that requires the arising of life and consciousness. Nature is constrained to follow the basal themes of symmetry and quantization, which ascend into the highest complexity realms of life and consciousness. REP explains how these themes are connected to a meaning and purpose embedded within natural reality that require advanced consciousness to arise."
and....
This comment from the discussion segment of the site worth pondering. Simple circular reasoning or profound insight?................
"The design of nature is the principal evidence for the nature of reality."
The same thing as the Imperative; "holding truths to be self evident in all domains"
and this and the following paragraph extracted from the supra.id site regarding Contraints:
"1) For every truth, there is an explanation of why it is true. This is the principle of sufficient reason.
2) No truth can explain itself. This is the axiom of foundation.
The
first constraint indicates when a search for the truth may
terminate—but only when no further explanation is required for a truth
is that truth self-standing. If a search comprises a “vertical” ascent
into an unterminating chain of higher explanatory truths, a signal is
generated—a highest truth will not be found. The second constraint
blocks a truth from directly explaining itself, which would violate
logic and causality"
"Nature is constrained to follow the basal themes of symmetry and quantization, which ascend into the highest complexity realms of life and consciousness."
"Nature is constrained to follow the basal themes of symmetry and quantization, which ascend into the highest complexity realms of life and consciousness."
My thought:
"Balance is the Ultimate Constraint"
Might I have it all wrong?
Is Balance the Ultimate Imperative?
Down which Branch does the true BlockChain continue?
Whichever branch we choose as true.
One leads one way.
The other leads another way.
Free will decides?
or
Does our best "least constrained by ambiguity Intelligence" decide for us?
Conundrum is the BlackHole of thought.
Think about It.

Reader comment found there:
"'Inalienable Rights' can never become fully actualized while 'intellectuals' espouse an 'ideology' conducive to their desire for power and control. H.L. Mencken says it best: "As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."...."
This link looks at Bush as the Moron. Little did we know about the Bigger Moron theory...

"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." H. L. Mencken.
Something in that makes the case for AI based on a Natural World of individual living entities operating in a constraint based system to attain balance as a function of interacting constraints to accomplish the common good through the design of the natural world.
We, by virtue of our human intelligence to create un-natural conceptual Imperative based systems will fail to achieve a balance. Our creation of an Artificial Intelligence based on Nature's constraint based system will be the tool to achieve balance in our human existence for the common good.
AI is just a tool we create to enable us to be better, do better....for out collective selves.

"The supraintelligent design does not entertain a free-thinking cognizance (such as human consciousness possesses) transcendent to physical reality. The "thoughts" that comprise the substance of nature are the full mathematical fabric of the complete physical reality. These thoughts are supraintelligent because they embed a highest purpose into their actuality. The SupraIntelligent Design's thesis is: the architecture of physical reality, from the underlying fields and their elementary particle excitations to the macro-cosmic structure of the multiverse, possesses an embedded aim. This aim requires the production of the advanced consciousness of highly evolved life and its purpose is no less than the continuation of existence itself."
